Clear braces are an orthodontic tool and should\nbe seen that way, not as a cosmetic treatment procedure. Starting the journey\nwith Clear braces Direct in London<\/strong> will begin with\nan assessment. Here, we will assess your suitability for treatment with\naligners, and ask about any medical issues that you may have. That said, if you\nhave a minor misalignment and no pre-existing conditions it is highly likely\nthat clear aligners would not only be effective but also a convenient and\nuseful procedure for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aligners are not suited for more severe or\ncomplicated misalignments, for which you would have to be seen by a more\nskilled dentist. If you suffer from severe crowding or there is an issue with\nthe position of your molars, then clear aligners would probably be ineffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minor gapping a sloped retrograde (or forward\nslant), as well as rotated teeth, can be corrected by aligner treatment. Even\ncrooked or front teeth that have malocclusion can be effectively treated but\nthis is only if these issues are minor. For more complex cases of rotation or\nto correct more gapping, you may need to seek treatment from a more skilled\ndentist in relation to using metal braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can adults use clear aligners?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no restrictions on treatment for\northodontic tools related to age; assuming you possess all of your adult teeth,\nthere should be no issues. In fact, while many think that restrictions in the\nNHS on braces are due to success related to age, they are actually more to do\nwith how the NHS funding works. And so, if you aren\u2019t sure if you are suited\nfor braces or aligners, just give us a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no medical evidence supporting the idea\nthat orthodontic correction needs to occur within a certain age range but in\nthe case of very senior patients, it can be linked with how structurally sound\ntheir teeth are making any application of aligners complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I use both clear aligners and braces?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is currently a great deal of work exploring\nthe use of mixed treatment involving using an aligner and braces, just not at\nthe same time. The brace is used first and the aligners are used afterwards for\na shorter treatment period. This allows more conditions to be treated but in\nless time than a full metal brace. But you would require an assessment in order\nto work out if this is a viable option for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this isn’t an option for you, you could\nexplore ceramic braces. They are structurally similar to the traditional brace\nof a glass polymer mix and are completely transparent and more subtle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any further questions or would like\nto explore the option of using clear aligners for yourself or for a family\nmember, please feel free to get in contact with Clear Braces\nDirect in London<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
